Question

1) 222 g of water at 87°C & 326 g of glycerin at 33°C are poured into a 347 g copper cup at 2°C. Assuming these three make up a closed (or isolated) system, determine the final temperature of the system. The specific heat of water is 4186 J/kg·°C. The specific heat of glycerin is 2410 J/kg·°C. The specific heat of copper is 387 J/kg·°C.

2)A rock weighing 8384 N rock with a volume of 31 L is completely submerged in mercury. The density of mercury is 13.6 kg/L.

a.) Determine the density of the rock.

b.) Determine the buoyant force on the rock.


Explanation / Answer

The mass of the water mw = 0.222 kg

 The mass of the glycerin mg = 0.326 kg

 The mass of the copper cup mC = 0.347 kg

 From calorimetry

     mwcwT1 =  mgcg T + mCc T 

    (0.222)(4186)(87 - T) = (0.326)(2410)(T - 33) + (0.347)(387)(T - 2)

    80848.404 - 929.292T = 785.66T - 25926.78 + 134.289T - 268.578

     (1849.241) T = 107043.762

                    T = 57.9 deg
